Xanadoood Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Don't be too cocky...Madonna made it through the wilderness. And she owes it all to you. Madonna , i believe, is pretty damn talented. She was always very savvy about her image, and surrounded herself with good pop songwriters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here last release wasn't that good. Anyway how did Madonna infiltrate this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losingit2k Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Well damn, I can't talk about the Dave Matthews Band here. ;) Not yet. Need to wait about 20 Years and hope they come up with an album as good as CA. But lets face it, is there any album in their current catalog that is as good as CA?

ZachenFoot Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Bruce Springsteen- Wrecking Ball I thought that was one of the absolute worst albums I heard last year. Very poor, and I'm a big Springsteen fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclonus X-1 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I'd say Ian Anderson did well with Thick as a Brick 2. But no, it isn't on CA's level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Neil Young continues to release great albums, as does Bob Dylan. Last year's Tempest is wonderful. Paul McCartney is still releasing great solo material. But, in terms of bands, that's a head-scratcher alright. Fly From Here? Mua-ha-ha-ha!!! Putrid nonsense from a once great band.

Bangster of Goats Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Yes' Fly From Here was the one that immediately came to mind. Whether it's better or worse than CA is purely subjective, but I think it's certainly the best Yes material in quite some long time, even taking into account the 10 year gap before its release. Ever since Tormato they've been extremely hit-or-miss. Edited November 5, 2013 by Bangster of Goats 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since Tormato they've been extremely hit-or-miss. Yes is one of the only bands you can even bring into this conversation...and technically even they barely fit due to personnel changes where Rush only had one personnel change and that change is usually marked with an * for most Rush fans because it happened so early (not TOO dissimilar to Ringo replacing Best in The Beatles). Yes's "Fly From Here" is a pretty decent album, the best since 'The Ladder' IMO, but I also don't think that's saying much. I like some of the tunes from 'Magnification' but just couldn't get behind strings replacing the keys, and when Wakeman played songs from that album with the band live (Live at Montreaux great example) they were sublime! But I digress from the topic. Again. Fly from Here is good, but Clockwork Angels stomps its guts out by absolutely any measure. Yes is going to be recording this winter so we'll see what they can cook up. I like to think Rush raised the bar for them with CA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FountainOfSyrinx Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Well damn, I can't talk about the Dave Matthews Band here. ;)Not yet. Need to wait about 20 Years and hope they come up with an album as good as CA. But lets face it, is there any album in their current catalog that is as good as CA? Difficult to say.. Music and arrangement wise, I don't think so. The concept album is tricky, and they pulled it off perfectly. One of the things that makes CA as fantastic as it is are the lyrics. But they're different from the Dave writing style and also difficult to compare. However, if we're going on musicianship, I think some stuff in their albums can compare. Both bands have immense amounts of musicianship. I don't see DMB lasting another 20 years. But hey, i'm sure that in 1995, people said the exact same for Rush. The fact that they're still touring today given their age and the circumstances in which they've survived (Neil's tragedy) is incredible. Dave singing "Crash Into Me" or "Rapunzel" at age 65 would be a little creepy. ;) Edited November 5, 2013 by FountainOfSyrinx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, many can't understand that in order to be in contention the band needed to be around in 1974 or earlier. In 1974 I think Madonna was probably shocking the boys in her Elementary school during break time. Edited November 5, 2013 by losingit2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
